Some Questions for you experts

[alexander]

First let me say I love metal detecting. I am in denmark and will not be getting back until august 17th. SO heres questions
How long will it take for a ring to sink below 10 inches?


Where to look after a storm?



Is it worth it to get an underwater detector?


Thats all I can think of because I drank beer. Oh boy.

1) About as long as it takes one wave to move some sand around. Likewise, a ring that is at 10" can be uncovered the same way.The sand at the beach moves around constantly.

2) Anywhere. But particulalry where the storm has moived large amounts of sand away (cuts and erosion) and much higher up on the beach than you might normally look as well...like the top of the high tide or storm surge line. Rings and things can be heaved WAY up there. Also, if there was a lot of sand moved up there it may uncover stuff too. If there were dunes there and they are gone now, LOOK THERE.

3) Only if you want to go underwater. Or if you plan on working the surf or wet sand and don't want to worry about dropping your machine.
